TECH SUPPORT: Best Sound Mixing — Volume I
Those words from Al Jolson forever changed filmmaking in 1927, ushering in “talkies” and bringing about the beginning of the end of the silent film era. The Academy Award for sound mixing recognizes the artists who fashion a film’s audio side.  It must be distinguished from Best Sound Editing, which is the integration of artificially created sound effects into the mix.  Mixing is the blending of those effects, along with dialogue, music and any other noise captured during filming.  The Oscar a

Blackface Is Not Okay… Even On Halloween
Ghouls and goblins, candy corn, jack-o-lanterns, and, yes, racial and ethnic insensitivity — they're all features of this unique, random holiday we call Halloween. The costumes and candy are all good, but that racist part is really ruining the fun. But doesn't it always? At this point, anyone who claims not to know that it's not okay to dress up in blackface is either lying to themselves or everyone else. That doesn't mean that we won't see tons of that sort of thing all ove

Michael Vick’s Abused Pit Bulls Are Given A New Leash On Life
If there’s anything that upsets me as much as the abuse of innocent children or the elderly, it is the abuse of innocent animals.  I’ve done many posts here dealing with the outrages of pet/animal abuse, and it is my opinion that anyone who treats a poor creature in this manner doesn’t deserve to walk the streets free. That is why it is nice to see an article such as the one I read this morning, on the pit bulls owned by former Atlanta Falcon Michael Vick.  Michael, if you recall, was t
